Planning

In August 2012, the competition for the design and visualization consultancy for the Odense Light Rail was won by a team consisting of Niras, PLH Architects, Atelier Villes & Paysages and MBD Design. The team will create a design coherence of the tramway line’s first stage of 14.5 km and be responsible for its integration of the lightrail in the existing urban environment and.[2]

In March 2015, Parsons Brinckerhoff won the contract for project management, and strategic and economic advice. Cowi and Systra were selected as technical advisor.[3]
